No. Stuart Armstrong was born in Inverness as was John McGinlay. There must be others too I'd imagine.

Oakley did well when he came on, but to me he looks like a number 10. Is playing a diamond midfield with him at the tip of it behind Baird and Bell an option?

If you're in Maryhill, I believe this fine establishment will be showing it!

This season's Ross County jersey was picked by a vote by supporters. Apparently Greenock Morton are letting fans design next seasons tops. Why don't we do something similar? It'd generate a bit of interest and if you make it a few pounds to enter your design for consideration it could do quite well. I remember the club talked about doing something similar a few years back and then conveniently forgot about it, but it's worth a try again.

There's some truth to this I think. I may be wrong, but there seems to have been an attitude in the past with the club that the town and it's local businesses should be grateful for the club. It has to work both ways. Perhaps if the club approached local businesses themselves and perhaps giving special tariffs for smaller local firms in terms of advertising boards etc. then the club's connection with the town could be vastly improved. We'll use the aforementioned Harry Gows as an example. It's one of the biggest Inverness based companies. They have a huge advertising board at Forres Mechanics and another at Elgin City. Do they have any board whatsoever at the Caley Stadium?

So I see Ian 'I'm good enough to play for anyone outside the EPL' Black has signed for......Chorley!

The areas that went through my mind would be taking away the first eight rows or so of either the family section of the North Stand or in the wing of the Main Stand, building a platform that comes a bit and have that as a disabled section. The view would be better in either section and also in a position when hard wayward shots wouldn't be such a danger. You could find a way around having a lift as well. In terms of the catering, my understanding is that the pies are still (or were up until recently) made in Glasgow, frozen and then brought up to Inverness during the week and then defrosted and reheated for the Saturday. We have Harry Gows, Ashers, Duncan Fraser's and other local companies whose products are a far higher quality. Why don't we use them? Ross County do. If your ground becomes known for having really good catering then people will use it despite the high pricing, as we've seen with Kilmarnock and the Killie Pie and Dunfermline's bridie. We could sell Dream Rings at games. People would buy them in droves! The tannoy is also a disgrace. We nearly had a match postponed once because it failed yet some weeks you'd be forgiven for thinking it'd packed in years ago. What would happen if there was emergency? On Saturday it was barely audible. I've been to Highland League grounds with a clearer tannoy. I don't know what it's like in the Main Stand, but almost always in the North Stand it is unacceptable.

I know the new chairman has a number of plans in place to improve the stadium and what not. So far I've heard plans are afoot to improve the car parks, new toilets, try and bring some sort of tie in with the North Coast 500 and the sports bar will soon become something a bit more homely. So what plans do you have to improve the matchday experience and try and enhance the crowds? I know he's been having meetings with a lot of fans and I assume he read this site so it could be a good idea to use this thread as a sort of central hub for everyone's ideas. Here's one idea I have for an improvement is for the wheelchair-bound supporters. Now granted, there's been a slight improvement in the perspex dugout, but the general match experience must still be pretty poor, shunted over to one side with a worm's-eye-view. Surely it's time we gave disabled fans a special area with a decent view. As some may have noticed that St Mirren recently built this - Could we not do something similar?

The club puts extended highlights behind the paywall as I recall. Seems absolutely pointless though considering essentially every other club doesn't so we can watch all the highlights anyway.

How are people pronouncing Seedorf? I've heard both Collin and Clarence being referred to as 'See-Dorf and 'Say-Dorf'.

Funnily enough, he did an advertisement for Jones Crisps before the first episode. He genuinely sounded like he was about to have an orgasm!

Owain Tudur Jones has a new podcast (worth a listen by the way). He pronounces his name in it as Oh-Ine Tid-ear Jones. If I hear anyone calling him 'Owen Tudor' again I will not be a happy bunny.

A typically rude and condescending response. I thought one of the main arguments for national service was to teach respect. Obviously with you they failed miserably.

Ah yes, let's teach more young men and women how to kill and then send them off to be canon fodder in more pointless wars.

If we were to extend Raven's contract until the end of the season then fair enough, but I think his legs are going at such a rate that another season might be one too many. I have wondered if turning him into a centre-back and/or a sitting midfielder might prolong his stay at this level but I don't think that chance will come.

I've not read the article yet but I alluded to something earlier in the thread. In light of the kneeling before NFL games, it was revealed that the US government paid the NFL in 2009 to play the national anthem before games and ramp up the nationalistic, militaristic side to it with fly pasts, parades by the armed forces and all that type of thing. This was done in order to recruit more people to sign up after the numbers fell big-style after the horrors of the Iraq War. It's completely phony and nothing to be replicated in Britain.

One in four homeless people in America is a veteran. This belief that they truly support them is nonsense. The flag waving and pre-match anthem is a smokescreen and done to drive recruitment after the falling numbers of those signing up after the Iraq War.

I don't have a problem with it per se, but if we're to have an Armed Forces Day why don't we have other days to honour other professions? All of whom include hard working decent folk, who have chosen to do a job where they're subject to harm and sights others wouldn't wish to see. I just hope the club aren't intending to go down the Rangers-style, nationalistic Americanisation of sporting events with fly-overs, 'heroes' parachuting into the centre circle and God Save The Queen being blared out over the tannoy.

I wouldn't. We need to get points on the board to get away from the relegation zone.

I don't see why the military should get a day all of their own and others don't. What about health professionals, fire fighters, police officers, coast guards and aid workers? If the club are going to have money off days for different services then fair enough, but I certainly hope the club aren't intending to go down the militaristic, jingoistic, Rangers-style Forces Day of flyovers, tanks lined up in the car park and all the rest of it.

All of which they do through choice. Being away from home for months and being in harms way isn't unique to the military either. What are we going to have next? Jingoistic tunes and the pre-match blasting of canons followed by 'heroes' abseiling down the North Stand...?

Unless someone finds one that they're willing to part with or one turns up on eBay I think you might've missed the boat on this. We had a few Hibs fans turn up on here looking for programmes but that was just after they won it. I seem to recollect that they managed to get them from the printers but I imagine they've gone now. Considering Hibs won the cup nearly 18 months ago now, you might be out of luck.

When's firefighters day? When's doctors and nurses day? When's police day?

I believe some sort of tie-in with the North Coast 500 is in the pipeline.

Two games is hardly a run...
